Hi all
 
We were out de-queening hives the other day in
preparation for new queens, and I noticed in one
strong colony, which I had treated with terramycin
and dextrose (because it's very fine and mixes
well) that it appeared the bees had stored the dust
in the comb, in the outer area where they would
normally put pollen.  I didn't know they did this,
although it seems to be a good idea.  Is this
normal?
